III.

Algernon Charles Swinburne

Dear in death, thou hast thy part Yet in life, to cheer Hearts that held thy gentle heart Dear.

Time and chance may sear Hope with grief, and death may part Hand from hand's clasp here: Memory, blind with tears that start,

Sees through every tear All that made thee, as thou art, Dear.
